GEORGE WASHINGTON HADESTY, OF DRIFTON, PENNSYLVANIA.

COMBINED WEATHER-STRIP AND DOOR-STOP.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No 319,490, dated June 9,, 1885.

Application filed February 16, 1885. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, GEORGE W. HADEs'rY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Drifton, in the county of Luzerne and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and use ful Improvement in Combined YVeather-Strip and Door-Stop, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to weather-strips, and more particularly to that class of the same in which a door stop or check is combined therewith, to serve as a handle in raising and lowering the same.

i The invention consists in the improved construction and novel combination of parts, as Will be hereinafter set forth, and pointed out in the claim.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a detail view of a portion of a door, showing my improvement applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a longitudi' nal vertical section of the same, and Fig. 3 is a transverse vertical section.

In the accompanying drawings, in which like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures, A represents a portion of a door, which is provided at its lower end or edge with a channel or recess, a, extending its entire width, and communicating with said channel or recess at a point midway between its ends is a vertical recess or channel, b.

Upon the front face or side of the door, adjacent to the lower end thereof and directly over the channel or recess 1), is secured an outwardly-extending plate or bracket, B, which is slotted at its outer end, and pivoted in said bracket or plate is a handle or lever, 0, carrying at its outer end an elastic cushion-such as cork, rubber, due. The lower end of the pivoted handle or lever 0 extends into the groove or channel b, and is pivoted at said lower end to the upper end of an arm, D, which in turn is rigidly connected at its lower end with a pipe or tube, E, fitted in the recess or channel a, and fitted in said pipe or tube, and having its edge projecting through a slot in the said pipe or tube, is a strip of rubber- WVhen it is not desired to use the Weatherstrip, the same may be raised by lowering the pivoted lever or handle, which raises the pipe or tube and the strip of rubber up into the recess or channel a. When the door is opened or swung back, the pivoted lever carrying the elastic cushion in it strikes against the base or wash board and serves as a stop, thus preventing the plastering from being broken, as is ordinarily the case when a stop is not employed.

Many advantages are derived from the employment of my invention, as, for instance, in warm weather, when it is not necessary to employ a weather-strip, the same may be raised from engagement with the floor or thresholdstrip up into the groove or channel, and yet the stop remains in position for operation.

The above'described improvement is simple in its construction, may be manufactured and supplied at a slight cost, and is positive and effective in its operation.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The combination, with the door, channeled or recessed as described, and the lever O, pivoted to the door, of the arm D, pivoted to the inner end of the lever, apipe or tube, E, attached to the lower end of the arm, and a weather-strip fitted in a slot of the tube or pipe, as and for the purpose set forth.

, In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.

GEORGE WASHINGTON IIADESTY.
